    519-3456. Description The RIDGID® RP 380 Press Tool, when used with appropriate attachments, is designed to mechanically press fittings onto tubing to create a water-tight and permanent seal, such as for plumbing and heating applications. When the run switch on the press tool is depressed, an internal electric motor powers a hydraulic pump which sends fluid into the cylinder of the tool, moving the ram forward and applying force to the attachment, pressing the fitting.
